Yea writting down your feelings when angry is really an effective means in getting rid of the negative thoughts in our mind. I also make use of it when my anger starts getting out of hands.

I have found that writing down my feelings when I am angry helps me to work through them. When I put what is happening down on paper, I am able to see the distorted thought patterns that are feeding my anger and change them to more rational thinking. As a result, my anger is diffused and I am able to deal with the presenting problem more productively.
